Anyone surprised by this, at all?
Though he's lost many fans after being captured on video hurling racist epithets at a comedy club audience, Michael Richards has an ally: Mel Gibson. "I felt like sending Michael Richards a note," Gibson says in an interview in Entertainment Weekly's Dec. 8 issue."Torture him," huh? It all always comes back to "torture" for Mel, doesn't it?"I feel really badly for the guy. He was obviously in a state of stress. You don't need to be inebriated to be bent out of shape. But my heart went out to the guy."
The 50-year-old actor-director added: "They'll probably torture him for a while and then let him go. I like him."
Mel's new movie, "Apocalypto," comes out Friday, and I'm seeing it Tuesday. Supposedly, it's for people who didn't think "Passion of the Christ" was violent enough.
